    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    Sent you a PM with the chopped up version of the trip report. Apparently, PM has a 5K character limit - the original I tried to send you was 10K. Had to cut out all the cool adjectives to make it fit.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Sounds like you had a day similar to mine the other day. We picked up my daughter's Jeep from a shop (new ECU) and were coming home - my girlfriend and her daughter were 4 cars ahead of me in the far right of a double turn lane to the right. I watched a small gold car with damage on all four...

    My 02 Avalanche NFE

    I finally pulled the trigger and ordered both the rear upper and rear lower control arms. I spoke with the company and they said there's are at least 10x stronger than the factory arms - and they are adjustable. Ironically, when I was talking to my buddy about fabbing some - he sent me the same...

    2017 Chevy Colorado ZR2

    It isn't that simple and you can't compare a consumer pc supply chain to a heavy industry supply chain (select portions of it - yes). A lesson found out the hard way when they tried to do exactly that with Saturn. But, I agree to a point - if the options are available, they should be orderable...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    I couldn't agree more. Once I get them in my hands, I'll post up some pics and install info.

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Nice job. BTW - I just order the Spohn Performance rear upper and low control arms you PMd me about. Spoke with them on the phone - 10X stronger than stock with more articulation. Not a bad price either. so - thanks for sending that my way as I'd never heard of them before.

    Snorkle on 6.6 Duramax?

    I have a Safari snorkel on my Avalanche 5.3L gas - no turbo. Something to make sure you think about is that the snorkels for Toyotas are for a much smaller engine displacement and thus might restrict your air flow too much. If I were you, I would reach out to AEV as they build snorkels for...

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    $300 for the two sensors, new wires, and new intake gaskets $270 for labor I would do this myself - but I just seriously have no time right now. Rayra - knock sensor 2 - does it automatically put one bank in limp mode? My Av seems to be going through a ton of fuel since that light came on

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Well - my 02 Avalanche just threw the SES light - had the codes checked - Knock Sensor 2. I have absolutely no time for this right now so I'm paying to have them changed - and RTV'd - and the intake gaskets changed while it's apart. Ugh.................................

    Hey Vortec Guys! / Sierra pickup / Suburban / Yukon etc - Finally has Index!

    Ya know - I love this thread because it gives me all the ways to fix my Avalanche - but I HATE this thread because it keeps showing me all the stuff that can go wrong with or break in my Avalanche. LOL

    Is it worth the hassel for an extra inch???

    General Grabber x3 - I love mine.

    Is it worth the hassel for an extra inch???

    Well, here's my opinion: Get the bigger tires. If you are actually taking it offroad, bigger tires have multiple benefits. 1) Larger tire = smaller bumps/holes/gaps, etc due to the increased rollout. 2) Larger tire = more capability. Bigger footprint will improve performance offroad particularly...

    URGENT HELP - 95 YJ 4.0L Shutting Off

    OOoooooooooooooooo - I did not see the 5amp fuse under the dash - dang it. I just had it towed this morning to a shop who specializes in this sort of thing. Hopefully - it is just that fuse (I had checked all of the others and the relays). Thought I checked everything under the dash, but a PCM...

    URGENT HELP - 95 YJ 4.0L Shutting Off

    I hope it isn't the crank position sensor as I just replaced that a year ago. It had thrown an 02 sensor code - so I checked down there (I replaced it in April of this year) - and found on all four of the harness wires - the insulation was pulled back at the pin connector. So, given they are so...

    URGENT HELP - 95 YJ 4.0L Shutting Off

    Hi All - I need some urgent help with my daughter's 95 Wrangler YJ 4.0L. We are literally getting ready to leave on a Mojave Road run Monday at 0400 and her Jeep decides to start acting up. Here's what it is doing: Starts fine, idles fine, runs fine - but then, it will shut off. Electrical stays...

    Newbie looking for advice

    Well - as the dad of a daughter who's first car is a 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ with a 4.0L - I will tell you this: If you live in California in a heavily populated area, you are going to get with a really stringent smog requirement called NOX. 90%+ of all 94-95 4.0L Jeeps fail the smog test due to...
